Sydney Airport descended into chaos today as a number of travellers were turned away from receiving a required COVID test before flying.
Sydney International Airport offers an express testing service where passengers pay up to $150 for a COVID check.
Domestic travellers who turned up at the airport hours before departure were unable to receive the much-needed test. Federal police were forced to step in as patience began wearing thin among the many people requesting a COVID test.
